50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Lake View Terrace

“Good breakfast. Hamburgers are great.“

“I just had lunch with my two daughters, ages 12 and 15. It was our first time here.

We ordered three plates: two 3-birria taco combo plates and one order of vampire tacos with chorizo. We tried all the sauces that came with them, along with a 24-ounce horchata.

My girls and I are usually pretty loud. We talk. We’re animated. We gush over the food.

But when we ate these tacos, we ate in silence because the food was that good. To speak would have taken us out of the moment. So we said nothing. We just sat there, lost in our own thoughts, luxuriating in tender meats, spicy red sauce, and complex flavors.

This is how you get tweens to enjoy family time: really good tacos.

And guess who told me about this place? The 12-year-old. Apparently, it’s trending. I recommend it too.“

“I just ordered for the first time today and I must say your food is fantastic! Generous portion with pickles and delicious soft boiled eggs, pickles, puréed fresh tomatoes and a small amount of hot sauce that isn’t too hot. Just right. Went to your place near corner of Van Nuys and Burbank. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED“

“It’s really healthy and still delicious! There’s another really good dish called the kechapuri that’s overlooked but super good! I’d get the wrap and a kechapuri! The kechapuri is a little less healthy but super good and the wrap skin is very good and thin!“

“Absolutely fantastic for date night or literally any other dining event you might have!!!! Food was incredible especially the glazed pork belly and the brussel sprouts. AND dessert is an absolute must, everyone needs to try the bread pudding! Good price point for the quality of food and the cutest Mediterranean inspired design.“

“Ramen done right!

This beautiful cozy ramen spot is just perfect in every way. Their appetizers are great, service and ambience simply the best and the ramen? S tier.

Creamy rich flavorful broth, tender pork cha shu. And noodles are just the right thickness.
Best ramen spot in LA.

Definitely coming back for more. The staff are so kind the service is speedy.“

“Hadasa (sorry if I spelled it wrong) made our first impression wonderful she was patient during the rush and went over the menu with us
We will definitely come back if there’s service like that ! We loved the Birria ramen! Thank you“

“Love it me gusta mucho la amabilidad y tienen los chilaquiles mas deliciosos que e probado 👌😋😋“

“Artelice Pâtisserie feels like stepping into a luxury French pastry boutique. The dessert case alone is stunning, velvet textures, glossy finishes, delicate designs, and pastries that look almost too pretty to eat.

I finally tried the Tropical Mango entremet along with the raspberry chocolate pastry. The Tropical Mango was easily my favorite, silky, refreshing, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. The raspberry chocolate pastry was beautifully made with raspberry compote and chocolate mousse, but I’m just personally very picky with chocolate-heavy desserts.

The iced vanilla latte paired perfectly in between bites of the mango pastry, super refreshing and smooth. I also ended up grabbing a few macarons on the way out and honestly every flavor was incredible, even though macarons normally are not my thing at all.

Definitely worth the hype if you appreciate beautifully executed French pastries and upscale café vibes.“

“Excellent brunch food and drinks, lovely atmosphere. Chilaquiles, shakshouka and pain au chocolat were delicious. Cannot wait to go back to the patio for dinner!“

“The biggest value of this place is its location and outstanding service. We came for breakfast as a family of six and even changed our table at the last minute, but the staff handled it with ease.
Our server, Razmik, was incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely welcoming. He has such a contagious laugh and warm personality that immediately made us feel at home. Service like his is rare, and honestly, it’s worth visiting this place just for people like him.
The food was also excellent. I especially loved the eggplant and zucchini chips, the fried calamari, and the omelettes. Everything was fresh and delicious. Highly recommended!“

“Our server, Mike, is excellent! very attentive, gave good recommendations and friendly !“

“Great food and lovely owners - would recommend“

“For the atmosphere I only wish it wasn't so loud inside.. But, it is a Cafe and to say the least a very popular and busy one! Great experience, great fast service... Ownership is amazing they really care about what the outside looks like Gerbera daisies 🌼 planted, hibiscus 🌺 and Mandevilla sun parasols and all in beautiful color schemes! Best cappuccino ☕ I've ever had, they can make your coffee with any famous person's face :) Great to bring family or good friends to impress them and have great food! I had portobello mushroom topped with tomato 🍅, poached eggs 🥚 on top with bellpepper sauce and mint watermelon salad $17, pricey yeah... But so is everyone else... Quality of food and, especially any type of coffee here is so worth it! And by the way any kind d of coffee your little heart desires, they literally have or make it for you! Highly recommended and I will be back! 😇❤️ p.s. parking is available in the back with validation free 1 & 1/2 hrs :)“

“Great food. Nice staffs. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Must get sushi, but don’t forget the corn tempura and momotaro tomato (seasonal). Awesome sake selection too.“

“Phenomenal service and amazing Gelato in the Italian style from Argentina 🇦🇷. Very friendly and welcoming. Lots of places to sit, work, visit. They've even got a back patio with gorgeous umbrellas. Great wifi and also coffee options. Support local and come enjoy some of the best coffee and dessert in LA“

“If you add protein powder to a bowl, you will be raw dogging it. Thought it would be mixed in… if you let it melt a bit you can mix it in yourself. I was, however, impressed w the amount of fruit they give you. The front worker was sweet. Shaded outdoor seating available. It’s a cute vibe.“

“I'm hearing VERY PROMISING reviews about the quality of the waffles here, yes. I'm being told that the waffle quality is near (or surpassing!) the standards required.“

“It's down and dirty, proletariat BBQ at its finest. THAT's the secret weapon. Simplicity of design and meats that are properly seasoned, then smoked to perfection, with sauce that's on-point. I grew up eating BBQ. This place rocks.“

“I really love this place! Cocktails menu is amazing, the Lychee Mojito 10/10, always a must for me.
Place was packed, of course it was a Friday night and the Lakers were playing, I recommend making s reservation.
Despite how busy the place was, out server David took care of us, great service and delicious food!“

“My first time coming here and i was very pleased! It's kinda hidden off Sepulveda south of Ventura, near Dickens. It has very nice outdoor and indoor seating options. The waitresses were super nice and friendly and the food was great! I asked for something i saw on yelp but they no longer serve. The waitress made a recommendation and I was very pleased! I will be going back and having it again!“

“Try to stop by every time we stay in Glendale. Good food and very reasonable prices. Service is beyond excellent.“

“best pastas ever!!! And the tiramisu was fabulous“

“I've been to many burger spots in my life, but I've never had a burger as good as the Chef Burger from Burger Bun. I'm talking perfectly seasoned beef, and delicious (but not overpowering) burger sauce, crisp vegetables, and the brioche bun is spectacular. There's no burger in Glendale that even comes close. The wings are also some of the best I've ever had and the homemade sauces are so, so tasty. The fries are perfect, and they have amazing milkshakes too. To top it all off, the service is ridiculously good, and the prices are fair. This is my go-to spot in town.“

“I am 65 years old. We had dinner at Humble Bird Saturday night. I have never, repeat, NEVER had chicken this good. Crisp, juicy (but not dripping like other places), no grease in sight. We got mild, but used the hot honey supplied and what a combination of flavors. We also got potato salad and slaw. Both great additions to an already wonderful meal. The staff was really friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The place was spotless. I live north of Seattle, but would consider driving down just for more of their chicken...Well, and to visit my kids.“

“If you’re looking for the perfect place to try Shawarma, Flaming Flavor is the way to go“

“The best breakfast burrito in this part of town by far. Great service, too. I’m very excited to try the burger but that breakfast burrito literally has captured my brother and I’s imagination for weeks. We were on the other side of the world thinking about these burritos.“

“Always good. This time I went inside instead of waiting on the drive through. It took 25 minutes and while the line outside was very long, inside it wasn't as bad as I'd seen it before. It was mid afternoon on a Sunday. They're usually on top of scheduling for rush hours but this time not so much. I'll just have to time my snack time better...“

“Outstanding and HUGE sandwiches that will easily feed two people or one really hungry sandwich lover. The pizza is just as delicious and like the sandwiches, the 12” feeds two people. One of the secrets to Baked is their homemade crust that doubles as bread on the sandwiches. For dessert try fresh hot churros!“

“My family and I have been going to the Good Neighbor for over 20+ years, and always great food and excellent service!“

“This place is the Go-To spot for sushi.. always fresh and delicious 😋“

“Our favorite neighborhood place for delicious organic coffee and tea. Love the owner and her staff. Highly recommend“

“TLDR: good food, okay service.

I'll start with the good 😊 My husband and I have come here quite a bit throughout the years and have attended a handful of the special events they've put together. They had a rum event where they paired dishes with a variety of rum tastings. It was a great date night and nights like that will keep us coming back. I also remember a delicious to-go Valentine's box during covid that was so thoughtful and delicious. We have enjoyed tasting every dish we've been able to try.

A couple of our favorites have been the smoked trout on ciabatta and the ricotta gnudi. The smoked trout is a hearty bite but somehow light at the same time haha. It's craveable. We like it as a starter or if we're still feeling hungry after a few other dishes. The ricotta gnudi however, is sooo rich and satisfying after a few bites, making it a very decadent and shareable plate. It's probably too much for only two people but we still eat all five pieces and only feel a little guilty after. I give 5 out of 5 stars for the food here.

With that being said, we recently went to try Antonia's winning dishes from ToC. We ordered both dishes and felt like they were probably better when Antonia made them haha. The sausage didn't have a great texture and both dishes needed salt but overall, they weren't bad and I'm happy we tried them.

I think they fall a little short in customer service and possibly staffing. We have had a couple of good interactions but on the norm, it seems like they are understaffed in areas. This is the reason I'm giving 4 stars vs 5. Well, that and because we'll often book a reservation online but when we show up, we have unfortunately been seated at the worst tables. It's usually the smallest table they have and in a very noisy location. Maybe we have had bad luck. Maybe it's because we're two small people without a dog, so they think we'll be happy crammed into the smallest spot they have?

This last visit, we were lead to an indoor table that was sandwiched between two large groups. On one side, the table was about an inch away from someone's back. On the other side, there was a group of about 12 girls having a bachelorette party and scream laughing. We just knew it would be hard to have a conversation there, so we asked about seating outside. They accommodated us by seating us at maybe the next worst table haha. It was just outside the front door but we knew it would be 100% better than where we were. We appreciate them moving us 🙏

I guess the point to that story is, be vocal on where you want to sit. Also, your chances of getting a good table seems to increase if you bring your dog haha, which is unfortunate.

Oh! And as far as parking goes, it's a little hard to find a spot but they offer valet. The area around the restaurant is super cute if you want to walk around a bit before or after your meal. I recommend checking out Color Me Mine just down the street for a nice date night.“

“First time coming here last weekend and it was great. Great staff back of the house and front of the house. Food is very flavorful. They all have fresh squeezed juices. By far my favorite. It's a small place but it's great to have a small lunch or dinner date. I come on the weekend for brunch and we loved the chilaquiles and the birria burrito. Will definitely come back again.“

“We were hungry after leaving a show, and randomly found this pizzeria. We walked in and were pleased to find a warm and cozy little place with some open tables. Ordered a Margherita Pizza with the addition of artichoke hearts and a Greek salad. Both were delicious, and we were impressed by the generous size of the salad, which was served in a beautiful wooden bowl.
Dominic was running the show by himself while the restaurant was experiencing a rush of to-go orders as well as some walk-ins. He was very friendly and helpful and provided us with a pleasant experience. This place is lucky to have this guy! We would definitely go back if we find ourselves in the area again.“

“Super tasty & halal 👌 highly recommended!“

“NYC cheese slices are my jam, and we have an embarrassment of riches in Sherman Oaks. Within a mile of each other, there are three, count 'em three, authentic NY slice shops. My son and I visited all three of them on a self-guided cheese slice tour of Sherman Oaks. Pizza Wagon was stop three on the tour!

The atmosphere is good...NY decor on the walls in what feels like a truly neighborhood / not-chain space. The service was great too...the staff worked quickly and were abundantly friendly and helpful.

They do a good job with authentic style slices...the right amount of crisp on the crust and a good ratio of sauce versus cheese. The chew was good, though both the crust and sauce don't quite have the superior flavor profile of the nearby places.

It's definitely a good alternative to those, though, and miles ahead of the major chain pizzas in terms of NY style.“

“Joselito’s is such an amazing restaurant! I had, probably, the best carnitas dinner and chips and guacamole (made fresh to order) I’ve ever experienced. A must go to whenever in the Tujunga area.“

“I love this place. The food is excellent. The vibe is wonderful. The only issue is that the lids on the coffee cups do not stay on. If you walk even a few feet it will instantly leak out the side. It happens every time whether it’s 2 cups or one cup. We know this is a fixable problem.“

“Best bagel in Los Angeles! So excited to see expansion into Calabasas. Love your food!“

“Hands down they are the THE BEST!! We hosted a teacher appreciation event for a local school & the ice cream truck was a HUGE hit! So impressed with the customer service and we love supporting small business like them! Thank you!“

“Delicious Iberico and Arctic Char that we were gifted. On- line recipe suggestions are spot on!“

“Fue mi primera vez y me gustó la atención al cliente es increíble muy amigables y el lugar es muy pasivo música de la India relajante y en tendencia y sobre todo la comida deliciosa recomiendo este lugar y muy limpio regresaré por seguro 👍🏼🥰🇮🇳😋“

“I am always here after the gym and I can't express how grateful I am for this place. The inside is immaculate and always well kept, and of course the smoothies and toast are tremendous.

However, what keeps me coming back after every workout is the people. ALL of the staff from the managers on down are personable and kind to everyone. They truly make this establishment my favorite in the area.“

“I love this Bobarita place , it’s so good. I Love all the employees there.“

“best gelati spot I ever found is gelationbrand must try“

“The perfect meal to break my daily intermittent keto fast. I eat the salad bowls, sub grilled veg for the hummus and I'm relatively carb free. Carbs from the plants but no processed or concentrated carbs from sugar, seeds or beans. Fresh flavorful ingredients, rich flavors and very satisfying. Nice self serve sauce bar with seasoned yogurt, a dill ranch and good hot sauce similar to a mild harissa. Fills me up, satisfies me and then start the timer on the next 24 hrs.“

“I wish I got his name, but the gentleman who was working on Monday night was really nice. My wife and I appreciated his friendly demeanor and personality. I happened to want to try the three flavors that had just come in the past two days. I ended up getting the strawberry yuzu cheesecake scoop which was excellent with the tart yuzu balancing out the sweet strawberry and rich cheesecake. That said the sour cream blueberry donut and sweet corn and blueberry flavors were also great.“

“Everyone at Lawless is a pleasure to work with. We host a weekly game night on Mondays and they always have the best food trucks and excellent brews (seasonal and standards). You can’t beat the laid back atmosphere. DOGS are allowed which makes it an even cooler place to just come hang out, meet friends, play games, or even do work. We love LAWLESS!“
